Should this approach work with a local Epson 740 usb? I haven't had
any luck. I used the 'lpr' option and 'generic' ppd in the Desktop
Printer Utility. The MacOS local net address (192.168.1.2) is in
/etc/hosts.lpd, lpd is running on the usual tcp port, and in general
tcp is fine between MacOS and linux. Any attempt to print from MacOS
tells me the printer can't be found (error -8885).
